A NOTABLE TILT.

A prominent business man Of St.
Louis, who has lately returned from
New York tells the following story:
Some time since, a month orssso ago,
Col Ingersoll was thrown accidentally
into the society of Henry Ward Beech
err. There we're four or five gentlemen
present, all Of whom were prominent in
the world Of brains. A variety of top
les we're discussed with decided bril-
liancy, but no allusion to religion. The
distinguished infidel was, Of course, too
polite to introduce the subject himself.
but one Of the party, finally desiring to
see tilt between Robert and Beecher
made playful remark about Col. In
gersolfs idiosyncrasy, as he termed it,
The Colonel at once defended his views
in his usual rapt rhetoric. In fact, he
waxed eloquent. lie was replied to by
several gentlemen in very effective
repartee. Contrary TO tho expectation
of all, Mr. Beechcr remained an abstract
ed listener, and said not word. The
gentleman who introduced the topic in
the hope that Mr.. Beechcr would answer
Col. Ingersoll, at last remarked:
"Mr, Bcecher. have you nothing to
say on this question :"
The old man slowly lifted himself
from his attitude and replied
Nothing gin fact il you will excuse
ME for changing the conversation, will
say that while you gentlemen were talk
ing my mind was bent upon most de-
plorable spectacle which | witnessed to-
day"
"Wbat was il? at once inquired In
gersoll, who, notwithstanding his Pc
culiar views Of the hereafter, is noted
for his kindness of heart.
why" said Mr.. Beecher, las ! was
walking down town to-day, saw poor
lame man with crutcbcs slowly aud care

almost engulfed him.
"Whnt brute be was" they all ech-

his chair aud brushing back his long
white hair, while his eyes glittercd with
their old.time fire, Eyes, Col. Ingersoll

soul is lame, but Christianity gives it

THE LITTLE GRAVE.

"Irs only little grave" they sail;
It's only just child that's dead
And so they carelessly turned away
From the mound the spade had made that
day,
All they did not know how deep a shade
That little grave in our home had made
know the coffin was narrow and small
One yard would have served for an ample
pail,
And enc man in his arms could have borne
away
The rosebud and its freight of clay,
But know that darling hopes were hid
Beneath that little coffln-ld.
know that a mother had stood that day
With folded hands by that form of clay;
know that burning tears were hid
" Meath the dropping lash and aching iii =
And know her lips and cheeks and brow,
Were almost ms white as her babys now.
know that some things were hid away
The crimson irock and wrapping gay;
The little sock and half.worn shoe,
The cap with its plumes and tassels blue
An empty crib with its covers spread.
AS white as the face Of the sinless dead
IT'S little grave; but, oh, beware
For worldwide hopes ara buried there;
And ye, perhaps, in coming years.
May, see, like her, through binding tears,
How much Of light, how much Of joy,
Is buried with an only boy.

Measure on the Level.
New England Farmer.

New England Farmer.
You can't find the depth of the.
snow by measuring the drift in the
fence corner-is the substance of an
aphorism in the last Century maya
zine, and a very true expression it is.
1t treats of a failing common to most
of us mortals. The political orator
who wants to guage the shortcom-
ings of the opposite party always
measures the drift in the fence cor
ner. The demagogic sympathizer
with the laboring man, bemoaning
his wrongs, plumes his measure into
the drift in the corner. The farmers
| are too often treated to the drift-in-
the-corner gauge of their wrongs in
stead of the actual average depth.
Churches too often measure the adj
vantages of their sect on the snow
drift plan. Let us try and school
ourselves to look at things as they
are, to deal fairly and justly by those
who do not agree with us, to get the
actual level of the snow, rather than
see all the right on our side and moth
ing but wrong on the other, or to say
that the height of the drift measures
the snow fall.

Eagle Gulch War WhooP.

Eagle Gulch War WhooP.
The good book has said that it is
not well for man to be alone. 1t has
been saying so for about two thous-
and years, more or less, but it was
only yesterday that we conceded that
such was indeed the case and pro-
ceeded to get us a wife. Our readers
are no doubt well acquainted with
the Widow Blodgers, who keeps the
boarding house just around the cor
ner from this Office, good clean beds
and a square meal for fifty cents.
There IN that mansion it was that
the shot from Cupid's bow was shot
clean through our too tender hearts.
Yes there we saw the Widow Blodg-
ers, and it was there we wooed and
won and wed her. 1t was on a moon
light night she approached us with a
board bill in her hand, but all un-
daunted we fell at her feet and pour
ed forth the tale of affection that fill
ed our bosom. Need we say that the
moon looked down with watery eyes
through the dark, swaying boughs
of the OAK? Need say that fair head
nestled on our editorial shoulders,
and she said she would be ours I:
No! but such was the case, and to.
night we are a married man.
The ceremony? Who al tell
about it? There was the parson-
we promised him 81; there was the
bride, all white fubdubs, and walls,
and flowers and ribbons and smiles
and there was we-the whole il
summed up in the confession We
hereby breathe forth to the brethren
of the press-we are no longer We
we are us.

81 have experimental with a de-
vice Of enabling printers to set type
directly from the dictation of the
monograph, and think that it will
work to a charm. 1t is SO arranged
that the printer by touching a lever
with his foot allows five or ten words
of the phonogram to be sounded. If
he is not satisfied with the first hear
ing, he can make it repeat the same
words over and over again until he
has them in type. For busy men
who dictate a great deal for the press,
/ am sure that the monograph will
be a necessity after a very little ex-
perience.
"For musicians the photograph is
going to do wonders, owing to the
extreme cheapness with which / can
duplicate phonograms and the deli
cacy with which the apparatus gives
out all musical sounds. In the early
photograph Of ten years ago, which
was a very imperfect and crude affair
compared to that Of today, it was al
ways noticed that musical sounds
came out peculiarly well. The ma
chine would whistle or sing far bet
ter than it would talk. This pecul-
iarity of the photograph remains.

fectly distinguished, the strings are

in the notes of violin the overtones
are distinct to a delicate ear. 1t is
going to work wonders for the bene-
fit of music lovers. A piece for any
instrument, for the piano, or for an
/ orchestra, or an act, OF the whole OF

The pumpkin pie is yellow,
The buckwheat cake is brown,
The farmers gray neck wiskers
Are full Of thistle .down.
The leaves are crisp and russell,
The sumac's blazing red,
The butternut descending
Is cracked upon your head.
The rabbit is cavorting
Along the gloomy slope,
The shotgun of the sportsman
Eliminates his lope.
The butterfy's departed,
Likewise the belted bee,
The small boy in the orchard
Is up the apple.tree,
The county fair is blooming,
The circus is no more,
And on the polished brass dogs
We make the hickory roar.
The trees wear lovely colors
In beautiful excess;
All nature seems to rustic
Just like q new silk dress.
The sausage soon will ripen,
The popcorn Don will pop,
And Christmas things enliven
The window of the shop.
Sing hi! for merry autumn,
Sing hi! for autumn gay,
Whose pretty pot.pie squirrels
Among the branches play.
For now no merry bluebird
Upon the rose tree toots
And autumn, golden autumn,
Serenely up and scoots.

Edison's New Photograph.

A reporter of the N. Y. Evening
Post lately interviewed MI. Edison,
and obtained the following interest
ing particulars:
When found in the laboratory Of
his lamp factory in Newark, from
which 1900 lamps a day r now
sent out, Edison said that the COM
mercial photograph is now the most
interesting thing in the world to him,
although it is perfectly finished, and
tools are being made for its manu-
facture upon a large scale. The sto-
ries which Edison tells of what his
perfected monograph will do are so
extraordinary that he scarcely ex-
poets people to believe him, and yet
that the apparatus is so simple, so
effective, and so Immediately useful
that he is certain of its rapid intro
duction into business-far more GER
tain than he was of the universal
adoption of the telephone rs a bust
ness instrument. Edison said of his
newly finished monograph: "You
know that / finished the first phono-
graph more than ten years ago. II
remained more or less of a toy. The
germ of something wonderful was
perfectly distinct, but / tried the inn
possible with it, and when the cleo
tric light business assumed CONNER
cial importance, L threw everything
overheard for that.
Nevertheless, the phonograpf
has been more or less constantly il
my mind ever since. When resting
from prolonged work upon the light
my brain would revert almost auto
matically to the old idea. Since thu
light has been finished, l have takel
up the monograph, and, after eigh
months of steady work, have mad,
it a commercial invention. My pho
nograph l expect to see in every bust
ness Office. The first five hundred
will, l hope, be ready for distribu
ton about the end of January. Thei
operation is simplicity itself, and can
not fail. The merchant or clerk VIII
wishes to send a letter has only t
set the machine in motion, and t
talk in his natural voice and at tn
usual rate of speed into s.the receiver
When he has finished, the sheet, Q
'phonogram,' as l call it, is ready fc
putting into a little box made on pul
pose fer the mails. We are maxim
the sheets in three sizes-one for lie
tiers of from 800 to 1000 words, anott
or size for 1000 words, another siz
for 1000 words. / expect that an a
rangement may be made with ii
post Office authorities enabling ii
phonogram boxes to be sent at tt
same rate as a letter.
"The receiver of a phonogram wi
put into his apparatus, and the me
sage will be given out more clearl,
more distinctly, than the best tel
phone message ever sent. The ton
